After reading the wonderful reviews, I truly had high hopes for this book. All animal-related books pique my interest and I do believe that I gave this one enough time before I decided to stop reading it. I did not have a difficult time understanding the plot, yet the dialect that is used for the main characters is just too difficult to comprehend. I found myself skipping over certain paragraphs which elaborately described certain geographical locations that caused me to lose my interest. I do think that Richard Adams is a gifted author but this book was just too painful for me to continue reading.
